Bring the Outside In!
With the summer here I am itching to get some newborns outside but I don’t always have the chance. I shoot most of my newborn session in my studio and after 6 p.m. Although it is still light out, by the time we get babe to sleep and comfortable I tend to miss the window of opportunity.
I have made it my mission to bring the outside to me! I started with one setup that was SUPER easy and cost very little mulla!
I purchased two rolls of dried moss from Michaels craft store. Be warned, it stinks like nothing else, but once I laid this beauty down, wrapped in a gorgeous cocoon (handcrafted by the lovely and fabulous Heather of Joco Couture), I knew I would have to suck it up because I loved the outcome.
Of course this has all been done before. From the hanging branch shot to tree bark laying babes, it has become something I am trying to add to every session. It’s cheap and just takes some thought and it sure helps to change up a session from time to time.
Hmmmm…maybe some hanging ivy, or some fresh flowers.

I LOVE using fresh flowers that are in season. Just before my shoots, I’ll walk around the yard and pick whatever I can find. It’s cheap and adds so much to the image! Thanks for the moss idea. My wheels are turning now!
Beautiful

What a clever idea. I would have never thought to do this. Thanks for the inspiration and it helps me to start thinking outside the box!
What a great idea!

Have loved the outdoor ivy shoots Kelley Ryden and Tracy Raver have done and have always wanted to photograph one! Purchased some silk ivy at ac moore and I have a rug from pier one that I bought at easter time that reminds me of grass (that is on the bottom).
